The best gift you can give yourself before the hol The best gift you can give yourself before the holidays? A new creative skill.There’s something about this season, the slower mornings, the candles, the way everything feels a little more intentional, that makes it the perfect time to sit down, pour a glass of wine, and learn something just for you.No pretty handwriting required. Just 90 minutes, good company, and a pen that finally makes sense.Fall classes are open now. Link in bio

Paper that gets kept.(And okay, maybe a few of those envelopes were addressed to myself. No shame.)I would not trade it.Tag a couple who deserves handwriting like this!Styled shoot Venue: @wiglewhiskey Planner: @belovedeventco_pgh / @cara_melll Photo: @stevendaltonphotography Film Photo / Video: @corey.taylor.photography Tableware: @eventioneers Linens: @partymosaic Bakery: @bellachristiessweetboutique Florist: @the.floral.touch Jewelry: @studebakermetals# weddingcalligraphy, custominvitations, weddingstationery, pittsburghweddings, pittsburghbride, calligrapher, handlettering, weddinginvitations
